2022, The Genius Loci of the Chapel
Sculpture on the Gulf
My artworks, defamiliarise the architectural reference in direct physical relation to the urban or organic environment. A viewer who encounters my public works, for example, can approach or circumnavigate them from many directions on their own terms. The view is not singular; there is not a set perspective engineering a specific response.

Brise Soleil, powder-coated aluminium 2.9m x 3 pieces
Brise Soleil (after Jane Drew) is based on a fragment of Jane Drew’s facade for a school in Chandigarh, India. Here the medium is powder-coated aluminium. I wanted the sculpture to refocus the intent of a brise soleil, which is designed to control sun and breeze. The idea of a free standing outdoor brise soleil nullifies that purpose and makes the object nonsensical, moving the object from its architectural anterior, to a new sculptural form.

2020, The Pool

The Pool contains an absurdist element, it is not close enough to water for diving, and it is constructed without stairs. The ambiguity of having a defunct diving board marooned in a city park is a prompt to consider the site and the city's brutalist architecture, known simply as ‘The Cristchurch Style,’ which became a defining feature of Ōtautahi-Christchurch in the 1950s.
